There is one relationship we all have that is more intimate, more profound, more vulnerable, more traumatic, more beautiful and more important than any other: the one we have with ourself.
Beneath the surface, behind our outwardly facing persona, and beyond the complexity of our thinking mind, lies the extraordinary truth of our own being. It's as though we each have a child, on the inside, innocently feeling and experiencing everything we encounter.
When we recognise this "inner child", deep within our own consciousness, something special happens: a higher part of who we are wakes up.
We can then choose, if we wish, to become loving and responsible inner parents. That decision, if we make it, initiates a profound and life-long process of inner unification. By establishing contact with our inner child, and by learning to actively prioritise, nurture and protect that most precious part of who we are, immense change occurs.
Gradually, if we are sincere and devoted inner parents, the child part of who we are learns to trust the adult part of who we are. And, over time, that inner union brings about the healing, enlightenment and empowerment we truly need, to actually become.
